[BProc] bproc connections

[Florian B. <flo...@ao...>]

can anybody tell me how bproc slave is connected with the bpmaster?

as I understood it the daemons communicate with there kernel module via 
a filedescriptor which the get by a system call. And all communication 
between master and slave is done via a user space socket connection. 
Requests sent from the master are interpreted by the slave or passed on 
to the kernel (masqfs).

But why are there sockets in kernel mode? i think they are only used for 
moving processes around. But why aren't they also transfered via the 
user space sockets?

Is there any documentation around that describes all connections used by 
bproc?

thanks in advance
